Subject: [Bug] git pull doesn't recognize --work-tree parameter
Message-ID: <E95C75ED-99F2-463C-A1AB-0F8152696739@jetbrains.com>


'git pull' doesn't work from outside the working tree even if '--work-tree' is specified:

# git version
git version 1.7.6
# git --git-dir=/Users/loki/sandbox/git/child/.git --work-tree=/Users/loki/sandbox/git/child pull
fatal: /opt/local/libexec/git-core/git-pull cannot be used without a working tree.

Note that  'git fetch' and 'git merge origin/master' work fine, so 'git pull' should be easy to fix :)

# git --git-dir=/Users/loki/sandbox/git/child/.git --work-tree=/Users/loki/sandbox/git/child merge origin/master
Already up-to-date.
